bcprs1 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I was at VCF 2.0 in Burlington, MA last friday and met Steve Golson. Steve Golson was part of the original design team at General Computer (the company that designed the 7800). As I was talking with him, I started playing Jr Pac-Man on a 7800 they had set up. Steve mentioned that the way Jr "disappears" used to be different. Now when you get killed, Jr disappears leaving only the beanie hat. When the developers first made the game, they originially had the propeller keep spinning and chop up Junior into little bloody pieces. As you can guess, this was changed for the final release, but just a great example of developer's weird sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was the guy who bought all the 7800 boxed games . I didn't need them all of them, but I couldn't pass up the $5 each price. I have already used some in a trade to get a Starpath Frogger.

[/quote'] It is not big and there wasn't much for sale. They had one small "white elephant" table that had a few things. I was just lucky to get there when the show opened to grab the few 7800 carts.
